DanMumford Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Hey, so I'm a long time Windows and Paintshop Pro user, but we just got an iMac and I got Affinity Photo as it looked like the best/closest program to Paint shop Pro. It's going to take time to get used to the new program obviously, but I'm having a few issues, firstly, on PSP when you make a selection you can then move/adjust the selected part of the image, but in Affinity Photo, it seems that I can only move the selection box around, and not the actual selected part? Is there an option to change this? How do I paste as a new layer? And is it possible to open multiple pictures into different windows, instead of them being tabbed across the top of the program? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there an option to change this? Try holding command ⌘ as you drag the selection, this would cut the selection area out of the image. How do I paste as a new layer? ⌘+C then ⌘+V I think you would need to use Windows > Separated Mode Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
